Posted Wed, 01/08/2019 - 15:52 by admin

Starting a credit repair business is very simple and your timing couldn’t be any better for this lucrative business opportunity. Over 80 million Americans have poor credit. Most do not understand the credit reporting system and will gladly pay good money for someone to help improve their credit. Why shouldn’t that be you?

A credit repair business...

• Is a recession-proof
• Excels during tough economic times
• Is easy to run from your home
• Can make you money immediately
• Is easy to start with very little investment
• Pays for itself after just a few clients
• Is a great supplement to your existing business and does a service for the community.

Credit repair as a business brings in new streams of revenue and passive income.
Mortgage brokers, loan officers, real estate agents and auto dealers use credit repair to generate new leads and close more loans. Many entrepreneurs use credit repair as an affordable home business that can earn them an additional $5000- $10,000 a month and more.

Learning the basics of credit repair enables you to start a new business immediately.
It’s something you can easily do in your home or office, because all you need is a computer, a mouse and a printer.

There has never been a better time in history to learn about credit repair.
Helping others repair their credit history and have a fresh new head start on life is extremely rewarding. While it's true that consumers can do this very same work themselves, most do not want to deal with the aggravation of talking to credit bureaus to correct mistakes, handle disputes or negotiate with creditors. This is where you come in to handle all that for them.

Here are the steps to get started.

1. GET A COPY OF YOUR OWN CREDIT REPORT TO STUDY.
You are entitled to one free copy a year, and there are three major credit bureaus to see reports from: Equifax, Experian and Trans-Union.

2. LEARN AS MUCH AS YOU CAN ABOUT THE CREDIT REPORTING SYSTEM.
We offer a copy of the Fair Credit Reporting Act right on our site. We also offer a free ebook with credit repair tips with every purchase of our credit-aid software. You can also download guides at the FTC web site:

3. UNDERSTAND YOUR ROLE IN THE PROCESS
Once you obtain your clients credit reports, you can then work with that client to correct any mistakes, acting as the intermediary between them and the credit bureau or creditor.

4. UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU ARE SELLING AND TAKE CARE IN WHAT YOU PROMISE
A credit repair company cannot “erase” negative items that are accurate and have been present on a credit report for less than seven years. However, many accurate but negative items can be removed with a bit of finesse if you learn the right negotiating tactics and approach the creditors and collection agencies in the proper manner.

Here’s the good news: 79% of all credit reports contain errors. This means that MOST credit reports contain errors. Those errors come off very easily with a few clicks of your mouse. Simply removing errors will improve a score almost immediately. Once you’ve accomplished that, you can further enhance a credit report by negotiating the remaining negative items.

5. WORK SMART AND MINIMIZE YOUR TIME SPENT WORKING
The most common mistake more entrepreneurs make is in managing their time poorly. Time spent creating dispute letters and handling paperwork can eat up hundreds of hours and drop your hourly earnings very low. This is where software comes in handy. It can help you to work “smart” by saving you hundreds of hours by automating the process and giving you more off-time to enjoy your success.

6. HOW TO PROMOTE AND MARKET A CREDIT REPAIR BUSINESS
Now that you have everything in place, it’s time to start promoting and marketing your credit consulting business.

You might call local credit repair businesses to get an idea of the services they offer and the types of fees associated with these services. In our own PRO software we give a breakdown of suggested fees. Some credit repair specialists don’t charge fees at all. For mortgage brokers and auto dealers the reward can be greater in generating leads and closing more loans. Go through all the information you can find, decide on your fees and services, and get ready to advertise.

It’s easy to create credit repair business flyers and business cards, either professionally or on your home computer. On the flyers, give a brief description about your services and contact information. Remember. Less is more. Post these flyers everywhere you can. You may also want to place small ads for your services in local newspapers, church newsletters, periodicals and with local merchants who deal with financing: mortgage brokers, real estate agents, auto dealers, etc.

Offer friends and family your credit repair counseling services for free, and then ask them for a letter of recommendation. This will quickly help to build your client base. Word of mouth is the very best kind of advertising.

You may want to consider giving credit repair and debt seminars and classes to help people to help themselves before they are too far in debt. Perhaps you might want to give talks at high schools and colleges about ways to stay out of debt. The students will go home with the information you have given them, and your business card or brochure, and tell their parents, who could end up as your next clients.

7. START SMALL AND WORK OUT KINKS BEFORE EXPANDING TOO QUICKLY
As a credit consultant, you should start to build your business locally before expanding too fast or going to the internet. If you build your credibility early, when you branch out, you will have experience and a history of customer satisfaction to back you up.

Stay honest with your clients. You are providing them with a very important service. They must trust you and your business. Credit repair can be confusing to many. Reassure and give them the information they want. This will enhance your credibility and increase your credit repair business well into the future.
